Narrow Gauge in Thompson Springs

Last December I visited the town of Thompson Springs, Utah. My main objective was to see the ghost town of Sego, which is a few miles up Thompson's Canyon in the Book Cliffs, and find out what remains from the Ballard & Thompson Railroad (side note: If you decide to go there, don't drive up the canyon in the winter!!!)

Thompson Springs was quite an entertaining town, and after spending the night in Sego (yes, in December), I wandered around and took pictures of every old building in sight. While exploring the Thompson Springs Motel something caught my eye: half of a tiny boxcar, used as a shed. Looks like it might be narrow gauge, and has all of the hardware and braces intact. Too bad they don't have the other half!

You can see pictures of it here:

There was also a wooden coach currently serving the purpose of a residence. I have no idea what its origin is, but that's a question I'm saving for the UDOT foreman and former mayor of Thompson Springs when I go down there in June. I learned quite a bit about the history of the area from him during my December visit.

Here's the coach:

By the way, the railfanning out there is great! Between 6:00 A.M. and noon we had eight trains go by and a few meets right in town.
